Farmers Market Storytime Many libraries found that local Farmers’ Markets have offered great outreach opportunities. A library often can have a free table to promote library cards and upcoming programming. A library storytime can also be a great way to attract interest, especially if the market is on a Saturday morning or other time when children are not in school. You could even give away free children’s books, sponsored by the Friends of the Library.
